American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Yorktown Needs Cancer Fighting Teams and Event Volunteers

Event celebrates those touched by cancer, remembers loved ones lost, and takes action to fight back for lifesaving change

---

The American Cancer Society (ACS) Relay For Life of Yorktown needs teams and volunteers for its annual event on Friday, June 10, 2022, at Jack Devito Veterans Memorial Track & Field.

Volunteers are the heart and soul of ACS and are critical to our success at every level. By joining the Relay For Life movement, volunteers help us save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer.

In 2021, we raised over $30,000 through our Relay For Life event to help our ACS to restore and reenergize the programs, resources, and events that are the foundation of who we are. We reopened our Hope Lodge® program in all markets this year, offering lodging to people facing cancer and their caregivers. We continued our investment in a cancer-free future with $395 million in research grants to find new ways to prevent, find, and treat cancer, as well as help improve the quality of life for people living with cancer.

As we look to 2022, we are excited to Welcome You Back to Relay as we know it right in the heart of Yorktown at Jack DeVito Veterans Memorial Track and Field and raise even more to support the lifesaving mission of your American Cancer Society!

We invite you to join the movement to end cancer and sign up a Relay For Life team! It is as simple as going to our event’s website (relayforlife.org/yorktownny), clicking, “Sign Up”, then inviting friends and family to join you to raise funds and come celebrate our survivors, remember loved one lost, fight back together and walk with us on June 10!

Ways to join the Relay For Life movement include:

• Become a volunteer on our event planning committee
• Make a donation
• Invite a cancer survivor to be celebrated, or if you’re a survivor, join us!
• Become a sponsor.
